Did I mention the 3 moving boxes in the living room? Jackie has been making
things with boxes for a while and kept saying she needed a bigger box. It
finally occurred to me to buy her one. I took her to a moving place and she
picked out a wardrobe box. She was SO happy. Well worth the $10. She told
me I was The Best Mom.

There are three boxes lined up together with various windows and doors. For
now, they are mainly a time machine.

Sometimes I think maybe she will end up as an architect. Or, who knows,
maybe she will grow up and invent a real time machine. None of that
matters, but it's fun for me to imagine where it may lead. For now, it
equals hours of fun.

When the kids were younger, I once made them a castle out of 2 wardrobe
boxes plus 2 smaller ones. The wardrobes were the tall turrets on either
end. The other boxes were flattened out and attached in between to be the
body of the castle. We even had windows, secret passages and a working
drawbridge.

It was very cool. My kids still love boxes.

Life is good.
